Term Information

Accession: GO:0001503
Name: ossification
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: bone biosynthesis, bone formation, osteogenesis
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The formation of bone or of a bony substance, or the conversion of fibrous tissue or of cartilage into bone or a bony substance. Source: GOC:mtg_mpo, PMID:17572649
Comment: Note that this term does not have a 'developmental process' parent because ossification isn't necessarily developmental, can also occur as part of bone remodeling. Instead use 'ossification involved in bone maturation ; GO:0043931'.
